MAX201CPD+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX201CPD+ is a dual driver/receiver RS-232 transceiver designed for single +5V supply operation. It features an integrated charge pump that generates the required ±10V levels using two external 0.1µF capacitors. The device supports data rates exceeding 120kbps and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. It provides full duplex communication with two drivers and two receivers, utilizing a 14-pin PDIP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for bipolar ±12V supplies
• Enables single supply operation from either +5V or +9V to +13.2V
• Requires only two external 0.1µF capacitors for voltage conversion

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low power consumption
• Handheld devices with limited board space
• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the component matches the intended application requirements regarding supply voltage and interface compatibility before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel RS-232 interface is needed with minimal external components. It is suitable for designs where generating negative voltages internally is preferred over using external charge pumps or inductors.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX209 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. These devices are characterized by their ability to operate from a single positive supply while providing standard RS-232 signal levels through internal voltage conversion.
